Soap & Glory

Skincare can be a real expense, and the products that promise to give you a ‘lit-from-within’ radiance can be pricey as hell. Luckily, more affordable skincare brands are bringing out alternatives that both your complexion and bank balance will love, including Soap & Glory’s new glow-enhancing skincare line, where everything is under £15.

The line comprises seven products, including a cleanser, a toner, a face mask and an eye cream, to name a few. In essence, it has everything you’ll need for a comprehensive skincare routine. Aptly named ‘Glow,’ the range centres around making skin look fresh and dewy for less, and promises to harness the power of effective ingredients like vitamin C, glycolic acid, and lactic acid.

It’s not the only new range of affordable skincare out this week — Frank Body has unveiled its small but perfectly formed line of skincare actives all under £20. The collection includes a gentle retinol that is perfect for beginners priced at £19.95.

Then there’s Monday Muse’s new serum, along with a bunch of great new makeup and haircare buys that have just hit the shelves. These include products from Briogeo, Aveda, VIEVE, and Glossier, all of which you can read about below.

We only include products that have been independently selected by Bustle's editorial team. However, we may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article.

Soap & Glory Glow Your Mind Nourishing Cleansing Balm

This affordable buy is dedicated to starting your routine off right. It has a smooth, balmy texture that glides onto skin like a dream, and removes makeup in a flash. All you need to do is apply it to a dry face, then add a little water to change the texture into more of a milk, before gently removing with a soft flannel or cloth.

Natural Lift Half Lash

Most people either love or hate false lashes, but these are for those who sit somewhere on the fence. They’re half the length of regular strip lashes, meaning they add a touch of extra flutter to your eyes, without looking obvious. VIEVE is selling these ones, which are more natural, and a more dramatic pair for when you want to have a show-stopping effect.

KVD Beauty ModCon Liquid-Gel Blush

As the weather gets warmer, you may well be looking to switch up your makeup routine to include more dewy formulas, such as cream bronzers and liquid blushers. This newbie from KVD Beauty will make a great addition to any summer routine, with its blendable texture and gorgeous colour. A little also goes a very long way, meaning more bang for your buck.

Retinol Rewind Serum

Frank Body is known for its bestselling coffee scrubs and dreamy hair collection. But they’ve most recently expanded into skincare actives, with three efficacious formulas: a vitamin C eye cream, a hyaluronic acid serum, and this affordable retinol. Retinol products can be notoriously pricey, but this one — which contains a gentle blend of retinol and other powerful ingredients — is under £20 and ideal for retinol newbies thanks to its kind-to-skin formula.

The Juice Daily Serum

Monday Muse’s first product (a face oil) was a huge success, and their new serum looks set to follow in its footsteps. The product is a great all-rounder that features some skincare big-hitters like centella asiatica, prebiotics, vitamin B5, and niacinamide, and it focuses on hydration and working to strengthen the skin’s barrier. Plus, just *look* at that Instagram-friendly packaging.

Pink Quartz Hair Glaze

Pink hair will always be in style, and Josh Wood’s new Glaze allows you to get the look easily and without faff. The temporary colour is best used on blonde hair for a vibrant effect, and lasts between three and five washes. As well as the colour effect, the product also promises to deeply condition hair, meaning the strength and quality of your strands shouldn’t be comprised, but instead improved.

Briogeo Superfoods Mango + Cherry Oil Control & Balancing Shampoo

Briogeo’s shampoos smell amazing, and this one sounds as though it will certainly be no different. Designed for hair that’s feeling a little lacklustre, it promises to perk up your lengths, whether you have straight or wavy hair, curls, or coils. It’s packed full of vitamins and antioxidants, including cherry extract and mango, both of which are said to be brilliant sources of vitamin C.

Lidstar in Branch

Glossier’s Lidstar now comes in two new shades: a gorgeous champagne with gold shimmer (named Bun), and this rich bronze with gold pearl. If you prefer to keep your eyeshadow neutral and understated while still ensuring your eyes pop — these shades are for you.
